PROMISE #329 - NOVEMBER 25
Promise #329:
I will bless the poor in spirit with My kingdom.
Matthew 5:3 (WEB)
“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
In today's promise, we read that the Kingdom of God actually belongs to the poor in spirit. I believe that being poor in spirit means acknowledging that we need God to do what we can't do for ourselves. Being poor in spirit means living a life of simple dependence on God's love and His life. If we were rich (spiritually, not materially), we would not think that we had any needs at all!
Being poor in spirit keeps us dependent on the only true life source. Jesus speaks about such things in the book of Revelation in chapter 3:14-22 to the Laodicean church. When we think we are rich and need nothing, we tend to live independently, isolated, and separated. God doesn't want us separate, but very close to His heart.
So, if you are feeling hungry today for His presence, dependent on God as your very life source, you are in the best place you could possibly be! Blessed are the poor in spirit, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these!
